A Six-Word Memoir® is the story of your life—some part of it or all of it—told in exactly
six words.

In classrooms and boardrooms,
churches and synagogues, veteran's groups
and across the dinner table, Six-Word Memoirs
have become a powerful tool to catalyze
conversation, spark imagination or simply
break the ice.

Here on Six Words,
we offer a simple platform to share the short,
sharp story of your life, as well as provide daily
prompts to share your six-word takes on the topics of
our times.

More than half a million short stories have
been shared here.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am not a practicing pagan. Yesterday I was reflecting on the Vernal Equinox, which comes just before my firstborn son's birthday. It then occurred to me that my second son was born at the Winter Solstice. And my first daughter was born just after the Autumnal Equinox. hmmm

Oh, but the youngest breaks the pattern, I thought, because although she was born in midsummer, it was a full month past the Solstice. *whew*
